Re: optical convert and samplerates

You can't do this. Both must operate at the same sample rate, which means the Babyface has to sync to the converter, operating at 48k only. It will not affect the quality of the Babyface AD/DA.

Open the Settings dialog and check that it says SYNC constantly...

Re: optical convert and samplerates

No, this configuration is incorrect. You simply can not use this converter while working with 44k projects, sorry.
